16.2 degrees above new Bridge so fit for fishing again. Due to get hotter at the weekend so we’ll keep checking later this week.

Supported by Alex van Wienen from the Angling Trust and Simon Kidd from Snowbee. Monday 22nd June 2026

23rd June. Water temps now above 20 degrees. Please lay off fishing. I have deleted all day tickets until next Monday 29th June.

I’m really sorry but we have had to remove availability for Day Tickets for the rest of this week due to the very high water temperatures which are dangerous to the recovery of hooked and played fish.

Volunteers essential please

Congratulations to Dan Osmond for this one.

We have recently stocked 200 brown trout around 12 inches in size. These are triploid fish. They have not been tagged nor had fins clipped. They will spread out over the next few weeks.

Three sites were chosen:

• Near to Austins Bridge

• Below Abbotsmead

• Below Town Mills at Staverton. This water is little fished so do go and give it a go. Aim for the stretch between Still Pool and Hangman’s Pool.

Despite freezing temperatures, some good fish were caught in the first week of the Brown / Sea trout season. Fish of up to 3.5lb were reported. An encouraging start.

The DAA policies were reviewed at the committee meeting on 13/1/2025. The published policies on this website have been updated.
